Dr. Evan Wilson agrees with the recommendation given by The American Association of Orthodontists that all children should be evaluated by an orthodontic specialist at age 7. While many parents are able to leave their child’s early evaluation with the comfort of knowing that potential orthodontic treatment can wait, others learn that their child will be able to benefit significantly from early interceptive treatment.

What Are Some Signs That Your Child May Need Early Orthodontic Treatment?

Ultimately, only a trained orthodontist can tell you for sure whether your child would benefit from early interceptive treatment, since there may be underlying structural problems with your child’s jaw or incoming teeth that only an x-ray or a trained eye can spot. However, there are also some behaviors and other signs that you may be able to identify yourself. Here are some examples:

Difficult chewing and/or biting

Mouth breathing

Thumb-sucking or finger-sucking

Speech impediments

Protruding teeth

Unevenly spaced teeth

Crowded teeth

Receiving early treatment as a child can prevent the need for braces and orthodontics as an adult, and it can even reduce the chances of needing surgery to correct common conditions.

At Wilson Orthodontics, you can take advantage of our complimentary Dr. Wilson Smile Analysis to learn if your child would benefit from early interceptive treatment. Your comprehensive Dr. Wilson Smile Analysis includes an office tour, complete exam, panoramic digital x-rays, digital photos, and a consultation with Dr. Evan Wilson – a $275 value, yours free! During your private consultation, Dr. Wilson will educate you thoroughly on the development of your child’s jaw and incoming teeth, and he will discuss with you whether your child would benefit from early interceptive treatment. If interceptive treatment is recommended, then Dr. Wilson will also review all available treatments, as well as your options for financing, so that you can make an informed decision on the best treatment path for your child’s needs.

Dear Dr. Wilson, Thank you for your note. Your staff is, hands down, the nicest staff of any medical or dental practice I have had the pleasure of meeting since I moved to Frisco. I felt extremely comfortable there and it made me miss my days as an orthodontic assistant. Thank you also for your kindness and honesty regarding my potential treatment, you are a rarity. God bless you! Sincerely,

Madonna W.

Dr. Wilson and his staff are amazing. We have two kids 16 & 13... 16 year old just got braces off and she looks great. Dr. Wilson did what was needed (and only what was needed) and she is very happy with her straight teeth. Son just started the process and we know he is in good hands with Dr. Wilson and his staff. We would highly recommend Dr. Wilson too anyone looking for an orthodontist.

They remember the school notes (big help) without being asked. As for her Teeth - she still has about 10 months of treatment left ... but they already look SO MUCH BETTER!!! Thank you Dr Wilson for being AWESOME!!!
